Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

Abstract: Novel nucleosides are provided having at least one hydrogen or hydroxide substitutent replaced by a .gamma.-emitting halogen. Methods of preparation of these nucleosides are provided and also a novel non-invasive method for the detection and measurement of tissue hypoxia in mammals.

Abstract: A pie product (pie dough or pie crust) containing a reduced amount of fat. The pie product contains a hard vegetable fat, and a softer fat. A method of preparing the pie product includes the steps of:(a) preparing a cohesive mass comprising flour, a first-stage fat, and water wherein the first-stage fat is a vegetable fat having a Wiley melting point below 110.degree. F. and a Solid Fat Index at 70.degree. F. and less than or equal to 49, preferably in the range of 20-49; and(b) adding a second stage fat to the mass obtained in step (b) in order to obtain a dough, wherein the second-stage fat is a vegetable fat having a Wiley melting point below 115.degree. F. and a Solid Fat Index at 70.degree. F. in the range of 20 to 73 and wherein fat B is added in a molten state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for reacting ammonia and wet process phosphoric acid to produce ammonium phosphates, which process comprises feeding the reagents to a vessel comprising two tubular members in fluid flow communication with one another and with a gas disengagement vessel, at least one of said tubular members being generally upright, the ammonia being fed to the basal portion of the upright member, the phosphoric acid being fed to the other tubular member; allowing the resultant reaction mixture to circulate spontaneously up the upright member, through the gas disengagement vessel and through the other member to the upright member; and recovering the ammonium phosphate reaction products from the reaction system.
